    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a modular, compact and widely wavelength tunable laser system of efficiently generating high-peak ultrashort pulses.SOLUTION: System compactness is ensured by employing efficient fiber amplifiers, directly or indirectly pumped by diode lasers. Peak power handling capability of the fiber amplifiers is expanded by using optimized pulse shapes, as well as dispersively broadened pulses. Dispersive broadening is introduced by dispersive pulse stretching in the presence of self-phase modulation and gain, resulting in formation of high-power parabolic pulses. After amplification, the dispersively stretched pulses are re-compressed nearly to their bandwidth limit by implementing another set of dispersive delay lines. To ensure a wide wavelength tunability of the whole system, Raman-shifting of the compact light sources of ultrashort pulses is implemented in conjunction with frequency conversion in nonlinear optical crystals. Further, positive dispersion optical amplifiers and Raman amplifier fibers are utilized.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide focusing optical system combined with steering optical system, and an imaging apparatus using the light collecting opticcal system for efficient and speedy imaging of a target using an extended terahertz electromagnetic wave range challenged by weak electromagnetic wave sources and low sensitivity of detection, and also to provide an efficient detecting method for electromagnetic wave in combination with a speedy imaging speed. SOLUTION: A rastering imaging apparatus is demonstrated without moving the target or the entire imaging system by properly locating an optical system to utilize angular conversion of beams to a lateral scan. A mirror-lens set is used to steer the terahertz (THz) beam along and (or) to collect the THz beam from each point of the target. The target is imaged with a much higher speed than when moving the target or the entire imaging system. A THz wave image can be taken in video frequency for practical usage of each apparatus in varieties of application fields where it has not been considered to be feasible.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical switch for generating ultrashort optical pulses of variable or adjustable wavelengths from a single light source for outputting ultrashort optical pulses of a fixed wavelength. SOLUTION: An OSSM 24 directly sends ultrashort pulses of 1.55 μm or the like to any one or some of WCCs from a UPL 10. Control of ultrashort pulses from an input port of the OSSM 24 to an optional WCC is performed by using either one of an electro-optical method and an acoustic-optical method. Fig.12 shows the use of 1×3 optical directivity coupler 60 for distributing input radiation light to any or all of output ports. A pulse of 1.55 μm wavelength is sent to an optical waveguide formed by TI, PE or TIPE on a ferroelectric substrate such as lithium niobate or lithium tantalate. All waveguides have cross sections of the same width designed so as to perform single mode propagation at a light source wavelength. A branching condition is determined by applying voltage V1 or V2 to the 1×3 optical directivity coupler 60. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
